allie3180, hello and welcome to the community, you don't say when you where awarded full mobility or for how long. As I we read your question I looks as if you where awarded full mobility decided to have a mobility car then a short time later they have reduced your husbands award by 10 point to 2 thus denying your husband access to a fully paid mobility car is this correct?1

We waited a year to make sure he was ready to drive which was March this year and now reduced points0
